ABOUT THE BOOK: RELEASE DATE July 27, 2017

To believe one person can change your destiny sounds absurd. But it happened to me… twice.

Ten years ago I had no idea what I wanted out of life, until I met Hannah Michaels. She was a computer-engineering student ready to conquer the social media world, and I was smitten. Even though I knew she was taken, I had to have her.

Being the big shot that I was, I didn’t let her status stand in my way. It wasn’t long before my hands were on her thighs and my name a whisper on her lips. This smart, sexy girl inspired me to greatness, helped me grow into the kind of man I never knew I wanted to be. The man I am today.

Too bad I hadn’t grown fast enough to keep her.

Moving on wasn’t easy, but I knew I had to let her go. Eventually, I found someone to share my days and nights with, and together we had a daughter. My life was nearly perfect until my world turned upside down.

A single father has challenges, and one of those is learning how to calmly deal with your child coming home in tears. I had no idea the day I pounded on my daughter’s classmate’s door, Hannah would be the one standing on the other side.

The wild, burning desire that roared through my veins was unwanted, and yet impossible to ignore. Letting her in meant so much more this time around. Guilt hit me like a hammer. I hated myself. I hated her. The problem was I really didn’t hate her—I wanted her more than ever.

But this time around I can’t have her.

This time it’s my status that stands in our way. And going up against myself just might be the hardest thing I’ve ever done.

••••••••••••••

REVIEW: BIG SHOT is the second installment in Kim Karr’s contemporary, adult SEXY JERK WORLD erotic, romance series focusing on a tight knit group of friends. This is successful IT developer and single father Jace Bennett, and computer engineer Hannah Michaels’ second chance story line. BIG SHOT can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary. Jace was first introduced in book one SEXY JERK.

NOTE: BIG SHOT contains mature scenes of M/F/M sexual interactions.

Told from dual first person points of view (Hannah and Jace) with present day and memories from the past BIG SHOT focuses on regrets and second chances between successful businessman Jace Bennett-a widower and single father of his five year old daughter Scarlett, and the woman he has always loved Hannah Michaels, divorced mother of a five year old boy named Jonah, and a woman struggling with memories from the past. Jace and Hannah’s reunion, of sorts, is brought about by the school yard bullying of their primary school children, as well as the new hiring of a computer programmer for Jace’s Fortune 500 Company-Flirt Enterprises. Ten years earlier Hannah was very much a part of Jace Bennett, and his best friend Ethan Miller’s life-a life that centered on friendship, sex and an unconventional relationship between a girl, the men in her life, and the secret and lies that destroyed her trust in the man that she loved. Fast forward to present day wherein Hannah comes face to face with the man she has never forgotten but a man so lost in a world of grief and guilt that he is willing to throw away a second chance at love. What ensues is the back and forth, rebuilding but struggling relationship between Hannah and Jace, and the potential fall out when Jace is unwilling to admit that Hannah is the woman he has always loved. Feeling sorry for himself Jace is unable to look beyond the past or the guilt that encompasses his life.

The relationship between Hannah and Jace is one of second chances; a rekindling romance that reveals the backstory about three friends who found love, laughter, and heartbreak when the truth about Jace’s past is finally revealed. It is here that the build up to destruction of their relationship becomes lost in a less than powerful reasoning-in fact, Hannah’s need to push Jace and Ethan out of her life was more of a ‘hurt feelings’ and ‘immature emotional response’ than a true betrayal or set of lies. Their rekindling romance continues to suffer as Jace and Hannah’s back and forth emotional battle lends too much fodder to an already tepid but sexually charged reunion. The $ex scenes are intimate, passionate and intense.

We are reintroduced to Nick and Tess, Ethan and Fiona (Sexy Jerk), Nick’s brother Lucas Carrington, as well as a IT app developer Amanda Woodward, Hannah’s immediate boss at Flirt Enterprises Perry Reeves, Jace’s nanny Mrs. Sherman, as well as Hannah’s son Jonah, and Jace’s daughter Scarlett. Lucas’s story line is next in HOT STUFF.

BIG SHOT is a little darker than book one SEXY JERK. There are emotional highs and lows, heartbreak and pain, guilt, perceived betrayal, and a happily ever after. The premise is tragic but encouraging; the characters are broken but inspiring; the romance is fated and tense. BIG SHOT is a dramatic look at two people whose lives went in opposite directions when a lack of communication and perceived betrayal tore them apart.

Brooklyn James should know better.
Born into Hollywood royalty, the brooding prince has a reputation as being a player. A manwhore. A womanizer.
Adoring fans are his thing.
His best friend’s little sister is not.
Even thinking about her the way he is isn’t cool.
Not cool at all.
And yet every time she pouts those sexy lips at him, she turns him inside out. Makes him harder than he’s ever been. Drives him to the brink of insanity.

Amelia Waters has always idolized her big brother, and the last thing she wants to do is disappoint him.
Falling for her brother’s ex-roommate is off-limits.
She knows this, but she can’t help herself.
The way Brooklyn looks at her with those smoldering blue eyes makes her wet in an instant. Turns her into a shivering, shaking mess of sexual frustration. And soon the idea of spreading her legs for him is the only thing she can think about.

She wants him.
He wants her.

When they finally decide to give in to their insane attraction, they agree it will remain between them. That their illicit affair will be short-term. No strings. No baggage. No messy ending.

But when the first night of mind-blowing sex leads to another, and another still, how long can the endless hookups go on before Amelia’s brother finds out? Or worse yet, before feelings develop?

Brooklyn and Amelia know they need to walk away from each other before either of those things happens.

The problem is doing it.

Talk about a mess.

Hollywood Prince is a sexy, standalone, contemporary romance about a bad boy and the off-limits girl who steals his heart.

REVIEW: HOLLYWOOD PRINCE by Kim Karr is another sexy, stand alone, romance story line. This is photographer Amelia Waters, and former teen idol, and wannabe screen writer Brooklyn James’s story line. HOLLYWOOD PRINCE is part of a series by Kim Karr that includes NO PANTS REQUIRED and BEDWRECKER focusing on a group of friends and siblings in Laguna Beach, California. Brooklyn is the half brother to Keen Masters (Bedwrecker); Amelia is Camden Waters (No Pants Required) younger sister.

Told from dual first person points of view (Amelia and Brooklyn) HOLLYWOOD PRINCE looks at the friends to lovers/ forbidden romance between photographer Amelia Waters, and former teen star Brooklyn James. On New Years Eve, Amelia came into some heartbreaking news that sent our heroine across country in the hopes of uncovering the truth. Enter Brooklyn James, the man who was the focus of many of Amelia’s childhood and teen fantasies, and the man with whom Amelia will fall in love. What ensues is the secret, sexual affair between Amelia and Brooklyn as our couple keep hidden their personal relationship from Amelia’s brother aka Brooklyn’s best friend.

Brooklyn’s reputation as a ‘pantydropper’ or manwhore precedes his introduction. Amelia is torn between Mr. Right back home, and Mr. Oh So Wrong who has claimed her heart for many years. The $ex scenes are intimate and intense.

All of the previous story line couples play secondary and supporting roles. We are also introduced to Amelia’s New Years Eve blind date Landon Reese-rookie Major League baseball player-a man vying for Amelia’s attention but an attention that is focused on someone else. I am hoping Kim has something planned for Landon’s future and not a ship that has sailed alone.

HOLLYWOOD PRINCE is a story about one man’s struggle to make it on his own; and one woman’s battle with family heartbreak, lies and betrayal. The premise is lighthearted and moving; the characters are passionate and tender; the romance is spirited and energetic. HOLLYWOOD PRINCE is an emotional and intimate look at succeeding in love and life.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 3, 2016

Every girl has had a broken heart.
Every girl knows love hurts.
Every girl has a story.

This is mine…

My name is Maggie May and I met him under a haze of purple lights. As cliché as it sounds he was tall, dark, and handsome as hell, and I had fireworks in my eyes…literally.

It was New Year’s Eve and beneath the magic of all that glitters and shines, I fell for him and his wicked ways. The way he moved, the way he touched me, the way he brought me to orgasm over and over.

You should know that I don’t believe in love. Fairytales and happily-ever-afters are never anything I’ve dreamed of…until him.

Something changed the moment our eyes met. It wasn’t insta-lust or insta-love, it was simply him and me, and the dance floor at our feet.

The problem is our story ended three days after it started.
But now he’s back.
And he says he’s sorry.

Can I believe him?
Do I want to believe him?

He calls me his bedwrecker…but what if he wrecks me?

•••••••••••••

REVIEW: BEDWRECKER is a sexy, stand alone, erotic romance story line from author Kim Karr focusing on former Wall Street trader Keen Masters, and fashion assistant Maggie May. BEDWRECKER is part of a series by Kim Karr that includes NO PANTS REQUIRED focusing on a group of friends in Laguna Beach, California. Maggie is Makayla’s best friend from No Pants Required.

Told from dual first person points of view (Maggie and Keen) BEDWRECKER follows the building relationship between Maggie May and Keen Masters. New Years Eve found our couple promising one another more than a one-night stand but like all of the men in Maggie’s life, Keen Masters didn’t stay true to his promise. Six weeks would pass, Maggie’s anger and hurt continued to grow, before Keen Masters showed his face in Laguna Beach-half brother to Maggie’s roommate Brooklyn-and a man angry at the world and himself. Keen has left New York City behind and is re-establishing himself in the world of men’s fashion. What ensues is the rekindling relationship between Maggie and Keen, and the journey of discovery for our leading couple.

BEDWRECKER has moments of humor, sexting, heartbreak and forgiveness. The texting between Keen and Maggie is fun and flirty; their times together filled with erotic $ex and steamy love. We are witness to their backstory reveals-the sorrow and pain; their issues of abandonment and loss; their need to keep people and loved ones at a distance. BEDWRECKER is a story of seduction, romance, and acceptance. The premise is sexy; the characters are spirited and energetic; the romance is passionate and intense.

I, Makayla Alexander, am on a mission to reinvent myself. So when a super hot guy boards the plane and flashes his rock hard abs, I pay attention. When he sits next to me and offers me his nuts, I can’t resist. But when I choke on them and he tells me I need to work on my gag reflex, I realize I might be in over my head.

Before I know it we’re in the lavatory and attempting to join the Mile High Club. Let me just say this…anyone who tells you it’s easy to get it on at 37,000 feet isn’t telling you the truth. After the flight attendant busts us for getting frisky in the air, the only thing that can ease my total and complete mortification is the simple fact that I am never going to see him again.

Hours later, I can’t help but wonder if fate will ever allow me to become a new version of myself.

Because Fate, she’s a fickle bitch.

Case in point…my seatmate is my new next-door neighbor.

Can two people hell-bent on finding themselves realize the search should have ended the day they met? Find out in No Pants Required—a sexy, funny, romantic stand-alone, that will have you hurrying to grab your bathing suit and rushing to the beach to check out every lifeguard on duty.

••••••

REVIEW: NO PANTS REQUIRED is a sexy, stand alone, erotic romance story line from author Kim Karr focusing on lifeguard Camden ‘Cam’ Waters, and jewelry designer Makayla Alexander.

Told from dual first person points of view (Makayla and Cam) NO PANTS REQUIRED follows the building relationship between Makayla Alexander and Camden Waters. Makayla’s move across country follows the recent break up with a man she once considered the one but catching him with someone else, sent Makayla in the other direction to start a new life in sunny Laguna Beach, California. Enter Camden Waters, a man she meets on the plane almost becoming a member of the ‘mile high club’, then to discover he is her new neighbor and the man who stars in all of her erotic fantasies. But to complicate matters, Makayla has already seen Camden in a compromising position back home-one that she wishes she could erase from her mind. What ensues is the push and pull of attraction as Makayla endeavors to complete a to do list of self discovery including a nude selfie, reading an erotic novel in public, and sex on the beach, taking Camden along for the ride. Makayla needs to loosen up and let her hair down, and to do so, a move to California is in the cards. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and provocative. Camden likes to talk dirty both inside and outside of the bedroom.

Camden Waters struggles with demons from the past: a father who betrayed him; an ex who continues to stalk and prowl; and a loss so devastating he blames himself for not seeing the truth. Makayla Alexander is every thing he has ever wanted in a woman but Camden needs to find himself, and he needs to find it alone making for some uncomfortable moments between our leading couple.

We are introduced to Makayla’s best friend and new roommate Maggie May, Camden’s sister Amelia, and Cam’s roommate Brooklyn James. Maggie is a woman who wants to stop serial dating, and Brooklyn is a wanna-be reality star looking for the next big thing. There is a building story between Maggie and Brooklyn.

The world building focuses on letting go and moving forward. Camden Waters is unable to move on with his life until he acknowledges the demons from his past, and is able to accept that he is not responsible for what other people do. Throughout the story line Camden and Makayla read aloud an erotic romance book -Summer’s Menage- that adds to our couple’s already sexual tension and attraction.

NO PANTS REQUIRED has a little bit of everything-fun, romance, $ex, angst, personal demons, and conflict. The premise is enjoyable and heartwarming; the characters are electric, passionate and fun; the romance is moving and seductive. Kim Karr writes entertaining, realistic and encouraging story lines with plenty of sexy on the side.

REVIEW: TURN IT UP is the second installment in Kim Karr’s contemporary, adult THE DETROIT LOVE erotic, romance series duet. This is the continuing story and second chance romance for automotive designer/businessman Jasper Storm, and journalist Charlotte Lane. TURN IT UP cannot be read as a stand alone as the story line continues upon the events in book one SET THE PACE which ended on a cliffhanger.

NOTE: If you have not read SET THE PACE there may be some spoilers in my review.

Told from alternating first person points of view (Jasper and Charlotte) TURN IT UP picks up immediately upon the events of Set of the Pace. Jasper has been charged with murders of two people with close connections to Jasper and his past, and Charlotte remains in hospital following a vicious attack. What ensues is the search for the truth about what happened years before and the connection to present day events. As the story line builds and the date draws near for Storm Motors to acquire an important piece of land, Jasper’s business partners-Will Fleming, Jake Crown and Drew Kates are blindsided by sins from their past. Someone is desperate to destroy the partner’s reputations, while placing Jasper and Charlotte in the direct line of fire.

TURN IT UP immediately throws the reader head first into the action and drama, slows down throughout the building story as Jasper and Charlotte’s relationship becomes more serious; and the partners find themselves in struggling relationships of their own. I am hoping for some future story lines about Will, Jake and Drew. The final chapters reveal the truth, the people responsible, and the connections to the past.

The epilogue fast forwards the story line approximately eleven years where we catch a glimpse into Jasper and Charlotte’s future. I am hoping Kim returns to Detroit and offers up a story line for each of Jasper’s business partners.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including the city of Detroit, Michigan. As the city struggles with poverty, corruption and crime, so too do the people who make Detroit their home.

TURN IT UP is a story about friendship and love; about finding one another after years of secrets and lies; about revealing the truth. The premise is entertaining and enjoyable; the characters are colorful, animated and intense; the romance is seductive and provocative. TURN IT UP blends mystery and suspense into a romance story line where two people reconnect following years apart.

excerpt

WARNING: The excerpt contains graphic content and is intended for readers 18+

Jasper Storm
What kind of person willingly drives a thirty-six-foot racing machine at breakneck speed through ten-foot waves?
The kind that isn’t put off by the possibility of smashing his nose against the steering wheel if he has to come to an abrupt stop when racing around the track—that’s who.
Today though, Lake St. Clair tops out with uninhibiting two-foot waves at the most, and my speed is tempered by the amount of passengers on board.
Classic Beatles is playing from the speakers on deck. Drew is leaning back in the cushions of the wraparound benches behind me with a beer in his hand. Jake and Shannon are sitting up in the sun loungers on the bow, both also with brews in hand.
Sitting at the helm, Charlotte is standing next to me in a simple black bikini that shows so much skin it is driving me crazy, her mounds of blond curls blowing in the wind making my fingers itch to run through them, and her sunglasses preventing me from seeing her blue eyes. I wrap my arm around her and guide her to stand in front of me. “You take the wheel.”
“I haven’t driven a boat in years.”
Standing, I pull her even closer. My board shorts feeling tighter by the second. “It’s like riding a bike.”
Looking over her shoulder at me, she gives me a quick kiss on the cheek. “I’ll give it a try,” she says.
Just that slight touch of her lips ignites a fire that starts to flame through my veins. When she takes the wheel, my body is ablaze. Unable to keep my hands off her, I compromise my need to touch her by covering my hands over hers. The cast prohibiting me from making the full connection I’m craving. I hate that she still bears the mark of her attack. I shove that thought away.
It’s a beautiful day, sunny as fuck and not a cloud in sight. The wind has picked up a little the further out we go, and when the softness of her hair brushes against my neck, it sends a shiver racing down my spine.
Taking a seat in the captain’s chair, I pull her onto my lap. The slight curves of her body fit me perfectly. Unable to compromise any longer, discreetly, my hands roam her body. Sliding down her thighs, up her arms, tucking under the small fabric at her hips. I can’t help myself.
Ten minutes or so goes by as we pass over the water like it’s a sheet of glass. I kiss her—her neck, her throat, her jaw. Take a little nip at her shoulder and then soothe it with my tongue.
Concentrating on driving, I’m surprised when she unexpectedly tips her head back so we can kiss.
The instant douse of arousal I feel is unlike that from the small flirtatious moves I’ve been making. This is full-out sexuality. Our lips meet, softly, gingerly. She’s sitting on my thigh, and her ass is against my cock. She shifts a little and I groan softly against the wet slide of her tongue, and all the muscles in my body knot in sweet tension. The fire in my veins bursts into flames from the slight friction, and all I want is more. The pull and push of the connection we share seems to be growing stronger every time we’re together.
Unlatching her lips from mine, she turns back and focuses on the open water.
She feels it too.
The tightening in my cock, the rapid beat of my pulse, and the taste of her left on my tongue puts me into a state of overdrive. I hold onto her fingers, squeeze them, press my naked chest to her bare back, and try to temper my need for her.
Taking what I can, I then inhale a deep breath. Unable to calm the storm raging inside me, I know I have to take action. This isn’t a storm of conflict, this is one of pure male need. “You have to stand up,” I murmur into her ear.
Again, she tips her head back. “Why?”
“You know why.”
The little vixen shifts a little more and grinds a little harder against my cock.
“Behave,” I growl and quickly stand up, bringing her with me, and then I ease up on the throttle and put the cabin cruiser in neutral.
“What’s going on? Jake asks.
I switch the engine off. “Taking a quick dip,” I tell him as I narrow my eyes at Charlotte.
She shrugs all innocent like.
“Remind me to spank you later,” I whisper in her ear.
Surprisingly, I see a thrill in her eyes.
Waggling my brows at her, my little problem is only growing, so I quickly hop up to the side of the boat and dive into the lake. The water is fucking freezing out this far and just what I need. For now anyway.
Splash. Splash.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 17, 2016

Every city needs a hero, but Detroit’s white knight just might be a villain.

A rough childhood branded Jasper Storm trouble. A bad boy. Not worth a damn. His love of cars was the only thing that could battle his delinquency. With the need for speed in his blood, he overcame his wayward ways. Mostly. All grown up, the broken city of Detroit hails him their shining star. And the man behind a new cutting-edge automobile is ready to turn this bankrupt town around.

Everything he does in life is fast. He talks fast, f*cks fast, and drives fast. But when one reckless turn brings him face-to-face with the childhood he has tried very hard to forget, he finds himself on the edge of wondering if he shouldn’t slow down.

Charlotte Lane was the tomboy who lived next door. She was his best friend. He was her protector. Then tragedy struck and she disappeared, forever—or so he thought.

Jasper has many reasons to hate Charlotte and keep his distance, but she’s infiltrating his every thought and he can’t stay away. Back in town with an agenda of her own, she should push him aside. Make him turn around. Walk away herself. Yet she can’t.

With the past lurking between them, they proceed with caution. That is until one sex-filled night leads to murder. When Detroit’s biggest ally suddenly becomes suspect number one, will Charlotte—the girl Jasper once kept safe—be the one to save him?

•••••••

REVIEW: SET THE PACE is the first installment in Kim Karr’s contemporary, adult The Detroit Love Duet erotic, romantic suspense series focusing on automotive designer/ businessman Jasper Storm, and journalist Charlotte Lane.

Told from alternating first person points of view (Jasper and Charlotte) SET THE PACE is a story line twenty years in the making reverting between the past and the present Jasper and Charlotte were childhood best friends but an explosion at an automotive plant left over four hundred people dead including Jasper’s father, and Charlotte’s dad the number one suspect when all fingers pointed at the man in charge. Fast forward twenty years, and Charlotte has been assigned the unenviable position as one of the journalists at the Detroit reveal of the new ‘Storm’ automobile, and finds herself facing a very angry, confused and unforgiving Jasper Storm. What ensues is a rekindling of friendship-a friends to lovers trope-that now finds Jasper’s life spiraling out of control, and our heroine facing the fight of her life.
The relationship between Jasper and Charlotte is acrimonious at best as Jasper refuses to accept Charlotte’s appearance as anything but trouble. He believes Charlotte is looking to destroy his career, and when all clues point to Jasper in a grizzly murder of another journalist, Jasper believes that Charlotte will stop at nothing to destroy his life. Overcoming the past, and the betrayal that has destroyed both of their souls, jasper and Charlotte take several trepidatious steps towards a happily ever after but Jasper’s reputation as a ‘manwhore’ places our hero in a less than flattering light. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and seductive.

Detroit is the backdrop to SET THE PACE. We are up close and personal with a city dying from a multitude of sins including greed, unemployment, poverty, lawlessness and addiction. Growing up less than sixty miles from Detroit, our family would witness the carnage, of a once powerful city, on the nightly news. Many of the landscape is familiar and heartbreaking.

There are several secondary and supporting players including Jasper’s business partners: Will Fleming, Jake Crown and Drew Kates; Detroit Mayor Alex Harper and his father, parts supply dealer Hank Harper. We are also introduced to Charlotte’s co-workers Eve Hepburn, and her boss Cole Reynolds.

SET THE PACE is a story of suspense, intrigue and mystery. There are a number of potential allies and foes who all have an agenda with Jasper or Charlotte. The requisite evil has yet to be revealed but the build up of possible enemies with vendettas against one or both of our leading characters is continuing to climb. From family to friends; acquaintances to childhood neighbors; everyone is suspect and no one is free from the fall out of that fateful night twenty years before.

SET THE PACE focuses on the past and the present; betrayal, revenge, secrets and lies. The premise is exciting with a number of twists and turns; the characters are colorful, charismatic and not without some questionable choices; the romance is a rekindling of what should always have been. Kim Karr blends the fragility of human nature into a story line what will captivate and fascinate until the very end….oh, forgot…..SET THE PACE ends on a cliff hanger so you have been warned.

excerpt

Charlotte Lane
Buzz. Buzz.
Startled, I jump and quickly place the frame back in its place.
Buzz. Buzz.
It’s the call button from the lobby. I’m not sure what to do. I should probably ask Jasper if he is expecting anyone before I let whomever it is up.
The hallway he disappeared down is fairly long and at the end are two doors. Both are slightly ajar. I can hear the shower running and music playing. I try to place the song. Just as I go to knock, I pause, and then grin, it’s Led Zeppelin—the same music that used to blare from his garage when he was out there with his father.
Somehow in my absentminded quandary, my fingertips have nudged the door open just enough that I can see inside the bathroom. Perfectly. In my direct line of sight is a huge glass wall and he is just beyond it.
My pulse is beating so hard I can feel it pounding at all my pulse points. I should leave. I don’t need to bother Jasper. Whoever it is buzzing to come up can just come back later. Yet, I can’t move. Or maybe it’s more like I don’t want to move.
Steam hovers in the air but there’s not nearly enough to obscure anything. And there he is, naked in the water, head bent as it sluices over him. His eyes are closed. One hand is on the wall. The other slides slowly down his belly and lands between his thighs.
Oh, God.
Now I really can’t move. I’m frozen in place. His hand is on his cock. I swallow the noise my throat tries to make, but I’m sure I don’t do a good job of it. Thank you, Jesus, he doesn’t seem to notice. No, he definitely doesn’t notice because oh, my God, now he’s stroking himself. Slowly. Deliciously. Up, then down, and a twist of his palm around the head of his cock.
I shouldn’t be watching this, and yet I can’t look away. This is private. For him only, and yet I have to wonder if it’s because of me. Is it his attraction to me that made him step back just moments ago? Made him have to relieve the desire he was feeling? Then why did he say he wouldn’t kiss me again?
When he moves his wrist faster, I have to stifle my sudden harsh breath with my hand. My eyes are glued to his body and although I should leave, I can’t. I just can’t. Jasper, doing this to himself, is the most erotic thing I’ve ever seen in my life. The only thing stopping me from reaching between my own legs is my perverted fascination with wanting to watch him come. Oh, and of course the terror of getting caught.
His mouth opens, water filling it and overflowing when he tips his face into the spray. I want so much to be in there with him, share the water, and feel that mouth on my body, but I’m not sure that’s ever going to happen. We seem to be dancing around the attraction we feel for each other. Like both of us are afraid to take that leap from a two-decade-old friendship to intimacy. Afraid perhaps of where it might lead, or maybe where it won’t.
I can’t be sure.
Then again, it could be that the ghosts that accompany us are just too strong to bear.
Soon he’s fucking into his fist with a deliberation that makes me weak at the knees, and I watch. I watch the way his muscles cord in his arms, the way his cock moves within the confines of his fist, the way his face contorts into pure pleasure.
Looking at Jasper, watching him about to come, it opens up something within me. The feeling is hard to describe and I can only think of one word that is fitting—primal.
His cock disappears inside his curled fingers and this stroke seems somehow more determined. Up, down, a twist around his crown, and then another twist. This time his head dips down, and then lowers still.
I press my thighs together to ward off the ache of arousal that is flooding me. I can’t hear him, but I wish I could. I know what he’s feeling, though, because I can see his mouth open and his face contort with satisfaction. He’s close. I can tell. And then soon enough, his taut belly strains, the muscles in his legs bunch, and then it happens—his desire jets out.
Never in my life have I wanted to make myself come like I do right in this moment. No, that’s not true. Never in my life have I wished for a man to take me the way I wish for Jasper to take me right now. Still, this is all kinds of wrong. I shouldn’t have watched him. I know this. Chiding myself, I lick salt from my upper lip and slowly, cautiously take a step back.
“Is there a show going on that I wasn’t invited to?”
That voice. I know that voice. The cynicism behind the tone.
Oh, God.
No. No. No.

REVIEW: FOR THE FIRST TIME is a collection of twenty one never before released short stories and novellas from existing series or stand alone tales by some of your favorite authors. Some of the stories contain graphic sexual text and language as well as M/F, M/F/M or F/F sexual situations and taboo relationships; most are written from first person point of view. This is a collection of contemporary, UF and Sci-Fi romance story lines with a bit of naughty.

Each short story had its’ own positives and negatives. My star rating ran from 2.5 to 4 stars for the individual novellas. While I enjoyed most of the stories, I did have a few issues (including poor story telling quality or the disconcerting premise) with a small number of the short stories.

Take your time. I did a quick breakdown of each short story premise.

NOTE: If you have not read book one BLOW there may be some spoilers in my review.

Click HERE for Sandy’s review of BLOW

REVIEW: CRUSH is the second installment in Kim Karr’s contemporary, adult Tainted Love romantic, suspense duology focusing on attorney Logan McPherson, the woman he loves Elle Sterling, and the Boston Irish Mob. Their continuing story begins immediately after the events of book one. Elle’s sister Lizzy is still missing, and Lizzy’s husband Michael looks guiltier as the days go by. To ensure the safety of her niece Clementine, Elle continues to stay in contact with her brother-in-law Michael-placing herself in the direct line of fire.

Told from alternating first person points of view (Elle and Logan) CRUSH focuses on the Boston Irish Mob; the potential for a drug war between controlling factions; and the possible re-emergence of a long forgotten Irish cartel. Threats against Elle’s life, and Michael’s confrontational attitude have Logan opening up an investigation of his own only to uncover a more dangerous, darker threat to everyone that he loves. To protect Elle from the madness that is his life, Logan will walk away from the only woman he has ever loved. A life for a life never felt more ominous or more of a threat.

Logan is an alpha male; a protective lover whose guilt eats away at his heart and soul. Elle is a strong, female heroine who at times pushed a few buttons as it pertained to her own safety. Together, our couple struggles to rise above the murky waters of betrayal and revenge, family solidarity, and the Boston Irish Mob.

CRUSH is a roller coaster of emotions; an action packed story of suspense and intrigue where passions meets resistance; where vengeance is a promise; where the sins of the past all but destroy the present and the future. The challenges and threats come in various incarnations-some the embodiment of Satan himself. The $ex scenes are intense, provocative and romantic-there is no denying the sexual chemistry between our leading couple. Kim Karr has another hit!

Crush Teaser

excerpt

NOTE: Teaser is intended for mature audiences only 18+

The coolness of the night air had begun to set in. With the suddenly harsher wind, Lindsay and I both felt the chill and even in our heels, we hastened our pace.
As soon as we walked into the hotel suite, I was assaulted by the tang of a sticky, sweet scent. It was the smell of pot. Never one to try it myself, in my travels I’d come across many people who had. Moldy grass was how I’d always described the smell.
Lindsay shot me a glance and confirmed my suspicion.
Hard rock blared through the open space. The patio doors were open and I saw the back of two heads flopped on the lounge chairs. Even over the music, I heard laughter rumbling into the room. I was glad that at least Logan was upbeat.
Lindsay started for them and looked at me. “Shhh.”
I followed, keeping my mouth shut.
We both approached, eager to see our men, but stopped at the edge of door to watch them. They were playing cards and a baggie of pot was on the floor.
James had changed and was now wearing sleep pants and a T-shirt. He had a cigar gripped between his teeth while he tossed two piles of cards onto the table between them.
Logan was still in his suit pants but had removed everything else. Everything. Outside in his pants only, I wondered how he wasn’t freezing until I looked up and saw the heat lamps were on.
“Baby, you’re going to stink,” Lindsay said loudly, breaking the silence.
Both men jerked their heads back.
The smile that spread across Logan’s face was slow and seductive.
Sexy.
The sight of him dried my throat and made my heart pound. Right then I didn’t care about anything but comforting him through kisses.
Lindsay was still talking, saying something about the rancid smell of the cigar.
Me, I was already leaning over Logan and placing my lips very close to his. “Are you okay?”
“I am now.”
“You sure?”
He nodded and said, “Don’t listen to James. He likes to be a drama queen.”
“I heard that.”
Ignoring James, Logan gave me a single tug and pulled me onto his lap. I found myself provocatively straddling him. His cards fell to the floor, but I heard no one complain. And then his hands anchored my hips as his mouth attacked mine, while my hands gripped his shoulders for support.
“Where are your clothes?” I managed to ask.
The corners of his lips tilted up. “We had a small wrestling match and my shirt took the brunt of the action.”
I laughed.
Boys will be boys.
My dress had ridden up and if anyone was looking, they could see my panties. I just didn’t care enough right then to see what James and Lindsay were doing.
I should have cared. I should have cared just how inebriated or high Logan was. I should have, but his primal response to my presence did something to me that made me want to be what he needed. Made me want to be wild and free for once in my entire life.
Maybe it was the Lindsay effect.
His kiss traveled from the corner of my mouth, along my jaw, to my throat.
My hands moved higher to toy with his hair behind his neck.
His teeth were sharp as they skidded across my skin, but the soft heat from his tongue soothed the burn.
I turned my head to give him full access, and that was when I saw Lindsay’s head moving towards James’s lap.
Again, I should have cared, but I just didn’t.
I wasn’t sure if Logan noticed, but he turned my chin to look at him. “We should go home,” he slurred. The way his eyes flickered over me so intensely made the idea of waiting for a cab and then riding home in one seem like it would take a lifetime.
With my hands flat on his bare chest, I found myself scooting up his body, stopping only when the soft fabric of my wet panties aligned perfectly with the tented fabric of his slacks. “I want you now,” I whispered.
Logan’s tongue flicked out to wet his lips. “I’m drunk, probably not the best idea.”
I raised myself ever so slightly and lowered my body, making the most exquisite contact with his erection. “I’m not and you seem just fine.”
His hand stroked my hair and pulled out the clip holding it up. “You want this? Here?”
My breath was wild. My nipples taut. My clit was pulsing. I realized I was excited. “Yes, I want you to take me here.”
His gaze slid to the side and so did mine. James was thrusting into Lindsay’s mouth. “James!” Logan shouted.
A grunt was his only reply.
“Hurry up and get the fuck inside, will you.”
Again, a grunt was his response.
Logan’s attention back on me, his hands threaded through my hair and slid over my shoulders and down my arms to capture my hands. He pressed our palms together so that our fingers were linked and drew in a shuddering breath. “You’re so beautiful. You know that?”
“I love you.” I’m not sure why I felt compelled to tell him that, but the way he looked at me when I did made me feel like we’d both found true love in each other, and all the worries that messed with my thoughts evaporated as his gaze flared. All that mattered was him. Comforting him. Getting him through this. Being here—for him.
He brought me to him with a hand to the back of my head, holding me in place while he kissed me breathless, maybe hard enough that he might have bruised my mouth.
Again, I didn’t care.
The kiss went on and on and when he finally pulled away, I hadn’t had nearly enough of him. It was when my eyes fell to the bag of joints on the ground that I realized Logan did not taste of thyme or moldy grass or smell like skunk, and I was a little glad that he hadn’t gotten high. I had a feeling he had struggled with drugs during his life and with my own father being an alcoholic, I was all too familiar with the claim that addictive habits were hereditary.
Another sideways glance on his part had my gaze following. “Finally,” he muttered. The lounge beside us was now empty, as was the living area. James and Lindsay must have gone into the bedroom. Logan must have been waiting for them to leave.
Knowing we were alone, lust won out over good sense and I stood and stripped myself naked.
Logan drew in a shuddering breath and stood as well, shedding his pants and underwear quickly.
I stared at him, naked and beautiful, and licked my lips. That card I’d seen in the store came to mind. Just because my issues might never allow me to be submissive didn’t mean I couldn’t be the dominant type.
He held out his hand for me to take it and instead I pointed to a chair next to the lounger. “Sit down.”
“Don’t you want to go inside?” he asked.
I shook my head. “No, sit down.”
He raised a brow.
I kept my finger pointed.
No one could see us up this high and with the heat lamps on, something about fucking outside felt incredibly erotic.
A slow, seductive smile spread across his lips, and as he sat his eyes looked like dark flames. The hazel was gone, replaced by dilated pupils that bled pure lust.
Since I was already drenched, he easily slid inside me as I sat on his cock.
The sensation of him filling me made me shout out, and Logan wasn’t exactly quiet himself. I heard pleasurable groans escape his throat.
This was what we both needed.
Each other.
I just hoped it would be like this forever.
My hands were not bound but they gripped the chair, my back was to his chest, and my legs were spread wide. I was open to him. Fully and completely open to him. In this position, I was his to do with whatever he pleased.
It was then I realized that in our relationship we didn’t need a dominant or a submissive. We only needed each other.
And as his palm found my breast and his fingers pressed against my clit, I closed my eyes and relished what I had with him.
For us…give and take was all we needed.
